and thrust washers too. I can get standard, +10, and +20.
Doesn't the guy at the machine shop need to figure this out, rather than pre-ordering?

like it has been said, if the crank is scuffed, scratched, or otherwise damaged a little it will need to be ground down a bit and need an oversized bearing. Bearing sets will include the thrust washer and I was under the impression that the main reason for any problems was that the factory supplied the motors with thrust washers that were too small and allowed too much tolerance.
